>> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. and welcome back to our viewers in the united states and around the world. thank you for joining us. i'm natalie allen. >> and i'm george howell. we are following breaking news out of missouri, ferguson, missouri. we have pictures to show you. violence erupted overnight after a curfew went into effect. we understand police ended up using first smoke can terse to

disperse the crowd. cnn has also confirmed that police used tear gas as well. a mix of gases to disperse that crowd. that also according to affiliate kmov tv. if you're joust joining us, we learned a few moments ago, all that you're seeing was not directly related to the curfew but a shooting that occurred at a restaurant which has been the scene of the protests and the looting. there were seven arrests made for failure to disperse. there was a shooting. one person is in the hospital. the other person got away, and let's replay for you the comments from captain ronald johnson just a short while ago just revealing what happened in the streets of jefferson, missouri, tonight. >> tonight our patrol in st. louis county, st. louis city p.d. are responding to a few

incidents on west floreson between -- down near the canfield area. we made seven arrests tonight. what initiated our response was we got a call of several subjects who were inside the ranch barbecue located in the area. we were told there were subjects on the roof. waiting officers enforcing the curfew went towards that area. we got that information from intelligence. before we were going to have our officers go out and walk the streets, we figured for their safety we brought out the tactical unit. they got on the street at which time they looked in their binoculars. the subject came out into the middle of the street holding a

handgun. they deployed tear gas -- first they deployed gas, this gas, initially smoke, we call it smoke. so you deploy smoke, several smoke can sters to assist in moving the crowd backwards. they kept moving forward. at the time that the team started moving forward they continued to deploy smoke. as they moved forward, then we got a report of a shooting victim near the barbecue. as they approached red's barbecue they did deploy tear gas at red's barbecue at that point. that was the first canister, there was four, that was there in an effort to move back and get to the shooting victim. also a police car at that location was shot at. we can't confirm it was struck just yet, but the police car was shot at and retreated.

they retreated back towards chambers. the shooting victim has been transported to the hospital in critical condition. st. louis county will be investigating that shooting. the operation tonight because of our initial response is to -- was going into red's barbecue and the shooting for operational responses and the response was not related to the enforcement of the curfew. like i said, we made seven arrests. i can tell you that i was disappointed in the actions of tonight. as many of you know, the crowds were -- the crowds we've had for the last two nights, citizens

obeyi obeying, protesting. earlier today it was decided that we take a different approach. we deployed teams of officers along west floreson. part of our commitment is definitely to public safety but also to the health of those businesses along west floreson. we utilized a plan and an approach that is utilized by the st. louis city department and many of the large units. it was effective. we sustained the health of those businesses and we also sustained the safety of the protesters that were out around tonight. >> again, captain ronald johnson there in ferguson about 15

minutes ago just spelling it out that the police response there after the curfew began, about 40 minutes into the curfew they started moving into the street not related to the curfew enforcement but a shooting at a barbecue restaurant. >> also important to point out the distinction between smoke and then gas -- smoke and then tear gas that was used. obviously, you know, we initially understood that it was smoke. our reporter told us that he heard on the ground it was smoke. >> and it was. >> it was, you know, and then we also learned later mr. our affiliate kmov that tear gas was used, so it's a matter of confirming the information before we pass it along. there was a lot of discussion on social media about tear gas being used but we don't report what was reported on social media. steve castenbaum was reporting on the street. if you could tell us the latest as you understand it hr you heard from police officials what

happened here. they were intimating they wouldn't have used the tactics we saw tonight had they not gotten that report that the local barbecue establishment had been broken into and then the subsequent sighting of a man with a gun and then of course later we found out there was, indeed, a shooting. while he didn't come out and say they may not have been as heavy happened as they were tonight or this morning, the implication was that these tactics were employed because they had reports that this barbecue establishment had been broken into, that there was an individual or several people on the roof and then they had spotted somebody with a handgun and then they took out the tear gas. they used tear gas in an effort to clear some of the crowds so they can get to this individual who was wounded supposedly by the man with the gun. and they were very clear to state that the person who was shot was not shot by police,

that this was someone in the crowd with a handgun who fired that weapon. and he told us that this individual was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, that several people on the street put him into a car and rushed him to the hospital before the police could get to him. the seven arrests they talked about were essentially because people continued to defy the curfew when all of this started, when the curfew went into effect there were somewhere between 150 to 200 people still scattered about in ferguson. when it got down to the point where the police tactics were employed there were remaining 50 to 60 individuals roughly according to a local alderman who tried to convince these people, he says, to leave the area, to obey the police orders, to get off the streets, that a curfew was in effect. so the events that we saw

evolved the way they did, according to police, because they had these reports that private property had been broken into and that was one of their chief concerns, that they were going to protect the businesses in ferguson along west floreson avenue because of what we saw the previous evening, looting at four establishments there. >> go ahead. >> no, that's fine. we had a question as well. just wanted to talk about the mood because, steve, obviously we've seen what's happened tonight. dramatic situation that, you know, played out to the point where at least seven people were arrested. but just the mood out there right now keeping in mind that this is all about a young man who was shot and killed at the hand of a ferguson police officer. there are questions about the investigation. people want answers about what happened. can you tell us about the mood given everything that's happened

and the protests that we know will take place in the coming hours. >> reporter: you know, i was talking with a lot of the community residents that we were getting to know over the course of the last week here, and the previous night's events, the looting that happened, again, it wasn't most of the demonstrators that looted, it was a small fraction of the people who were out demonstrating the previous night that did loot those stores. when that happened i started hearing from local residents that they felt that enough was enough, that, you know, the message was getting out but that it was being over shadowed by these individuals who were coming in and were intent on causing damage, on confronting police, and they wanted to get control of the situation back. you can see the community residents, the activists here, the local representatives really mediating between different groups of people trying to get them to behave within the limits of the law, within their rights and not to be destructive, and

they were doing tremendous outreach. and some people went and took it upon themselves to protect the local businesses and try to prevent looters from getting in. now when police here saw that, we heard them say when they saw the community residents coming out and protecting their businesses, they decided tonight they needed to be out here in force, and that's what they did. they got out in front of those businesses, the establishments. they allowed people to demonstrate. we saw groups of people driving up and down the avenue in their cars. lots of people on the roofs of their cars, you know, chanting, hands up, don't shoot, which has been the rallying cry here. they allowed that to go on. there were fewer people doing that tonight than in previous nights. they allowed that to continue. at the same time there was a very visible police presence as they were protecting those business establishments and private properties in ferguson. >> right. and responding to the shooting,

and perhaps that helped keep the peace and they pushed in. they did not deploy tear gas until a police car was shot at. again, what's expected to happen today? once this curfew is over people are welcome to come back out and there is a big event planned, c ekt? >> yes, that's right. the curfew will roughly expire around the time the sun comes up here. it's sunday so some people will be going to church. there are several events taking place at area churches in response to this week's events, and we also know that there's going to be a march through the community led by several activists and community leaders later today. we'll be covering that as well. and, of course, people here still want answers. at the root of this is what happened. how did this situation evolve and result in the death of a young man in their community.

they want answers. they want to know why this happened and why a family is suffering the loss of a child. and all of this other stuff is secondary of the protests, the police response. they really do want answers, and you hear it over and over again. people want what they say they deserve, justice for michael brown and his family. >> steve kastenbaum, you have been with us for the last several hours. i know it's been a long haul out there. we greatly appreciate your diligence in your reporting. >> and the fine folks that are behind the camera as well bringing us the live pictures. thank you again, you say people want answers. we want to tell you another part of the story. today was the arrival of 40 fbi investigators there in ferguson to go door to door, which they did, getting people's reports on what they saw and heard. we'll take a break. we'll have more news for you in a moment. ..

...with indulgent streusel crumble, be from... fiber one. new fiber one streusel.

a lot of news from ferguson, missouri now. we're going to travel a long way away. we have a reporter live from iraq where as we've been reporting there have been several days of u.s. air strikes by u.s. jets and iraqi jets from around the mosul dam which has been taken over by isis

militants. for a week now they've been working to get that dabbm back, and also there have been questions whether kurdish troops would move in on the ground to try to secure the area. we've been learning more about that from cnn's anna coren. she's near mosul. anna, you were reporting recently that, indeed, kurdish troops are engaged in fighting right now. >> reporter: that's right, natalie. we've moved into mosul province with the peshmurga mobile forces. we are on the front line where it runs into mosul dam. they have been hitting isis militants all morning with artillery, with mortar, with rockets and there is smoke on the horizon several kilometers away. we've heard the explosions. we've also heard the jets flying over and the drones. they've been circling.

but certainly it would appear that the peshmurga forces from our vantage point are pushing these isis militants back. there are 250 isis militants that are in clashes with peshmurga. from what we understand from the commander of these forces, he says as they've been retreating they have been laying explosives behind the road and in buildings. we hear huge big booms and he would say, you know, that's them detonating a building obviously trying to -- trying to target the peshmurga who are on the ground being drawn into these erring ban areas. the battle men are being drawn into the townships and obviously isis is doing whatever it can to

try and kill the kurdish forces. from what we've been told on the move, we can also see that they are retreating as well. but as for mosul dam, that is still another 25 kilometers from where we are at this vantage point. it's going to be some time before they get through the next how many towns and villages that are occupied by these isis militants and of course, then, around the dam where they believe there are some 400 of these sunni extremists who have taken home of mosul dam, natalie. >> we've been seeing just a generic picture of the dam but no telling what it looks like now being surrounded by these forces. and remind us again, anna, why is this dam so critical? >> reporter: yeah, it's a very important piece of infrastructure. iraq's largest hydroelectric dam. it provides power to both mosul

and to baghdad so just from an infrastructure point of view it's critical and for isis to be in control of it is extremely alarming. to lose it several weeks ago was a major blow to the kurdish forces and to iraq, but it's of strategic importance as well because of its instability. there's real concern that it could collapse, this coming from the army of u.s. corps, engineering corps, coming from civil engineer from the university of arkansas who's been studying the dam who believes if it does break it could inundate and flood baghdad. 30 meters would inundate mosul

and 5 meters for baghdad. it would be like a tsunami. it's also described as the most dangerous dam in the world, the reason being is that it's so unstable and it needs to have this grit pumped into the bedrock of the foundation. that is why it is of just major concern that isis could use this as a weapon, as a target, blow it up, cause an absolute catastrophe or that just by the lack of maintenance of this particular piece of vital infrastructure that it just collapses. but that is what they are facing at the moment. that is another reason, natalie, as to why they need to recapture and control the dam as soon as

possible. >> yes. as you say, the kurdish forces are working on that right now with assistance from jets in the air, that operation ongoing. anna coren. we'll get back to you. well, a leader of iraq's minority yazidi's group says an attack friday was far deadlier than reported. this is near sinjar. the yazidi leader tells brittain's channel 4 news that isis militants killed more than 350 men and abducted 4 women and children. ahead here, the latest from ukraine. word from the fighting. we'll have a live report from kiev after this.

michelob ultra. the superior light beer. the situation in eastern ukraine seems to be getting worse. tens of thousands of government troops are battling pro russia separatists for control of key areas in the region. we go now live to cnn's will riply who joins us in kiev. will, i understand you have some new information to share with our viewers? >> reporter: yeah, george. cnn confirming that a ukrainian mig 29 fighter jet was shot down.

it was flying over luhansk region. the pilot was able to eject safely and is safe and had to be rescued on the ground. but this fighter jet being shot down is just the latest in really a long string of planes that the rebel russian separatists are accused of shooting down. our local experts on the ground now have the tally on at least ten planes including a large military cargo plane that was carrying 49 -- 49 military personnel and then, of course, the pro russian separatists are also suspected of shooting down mh-17, which is really what put the global spotlight even more on this crisis when that plane went down, that crash site right in the heart of where all the fighting was happening. this fighter jet being shot down is a significant development. another significant development that we're just now learning about, george, is the rebel

leader. one of the rebel leaders is speaking out. there's a new video that we're actually efforting. we're going to try to show you later on in the day on cnn. in this video he's talking about receiving personnel, trained personnel from russia. he's saying that the rebels are about to make a new offensive and that they have new reinforcements coming in that have been trained in russia. he also talked about getting new weapons in as well. so, you know, as you kind of put together all of the pieces here, the armored convoy that western journalists spotted thursday night that supposedly had men wearing military un force, allegations by the ukrainian government and others in the west that weapons have been coming over from russia and now just overnight a fighter jet shot down with sophisticated weaponry had to come from somewhere, george, so lots of big developments out here on that front right now. >> cnn's will riply joining us live in kiev.

we appreciate your reporting. the news continues on cnn. police trying to defer protesters in ferguson, missouri. some people disobey that curfew. we will go back live to ferguson with the very latest as cnn continues.

>> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. cnn world headquarters in atlanta, i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. welcome back. >> we continue to follow this breaking news in ferguson, missouri. it has been a very, very busy night. >> yes, it has. we've been reporting on this story for over three hours.

ferguson police trying to restore calm after the shooting of michael brown over a week ago. we just learned from officers just less than an hour ago that their movement there if you've been watching our live coverage not directly related to the coverage but to a shooting. >> steve kastenbaum is joining us on the ground. steve, it has been a long night for you, for many people there in ferguson. we saw initially that police used smoke, then they used tear gas. lay it all out for us and tell us the time line as you understand it please. >> reporter: yeah, it was another long night here in ferguson following a night where we had a big confrontation between police and looters, but tonight it was different. the crowd in ferguson was made up mostly of young people, high schoolers, people in their young 20s, a much smaller crowd demonstrating in ferguson, probably because of the rain. a lot of people didn't turn out.

what happened as the witching hour approached for the curfew to begin, as they were approaching midnight, they were getting set with police in riot gear at a staging area just in case anything bad was about to happen, but initially they told people via the police presence on the street, by word of mouth, that the curfew was in effect, you needed to vacate the street. most people got off of the streets when they heard, you know, that the time had come. it was time to go. a group of about 150 to 200 protesters decided they were going to stay, that they felt they had the right to stay in ferguson, that it was their right to protest peacefully. at that point police started getting reports, they tell us, that a barbecue establishment on the avenue had been broken into and that there were individuals on the roof of this building, and that's when they decided to get the police in riot gear up, put them in formation.

they brought the armored cars in place and they started moving in on the protesters. the protesters -- and we saw this. you can see it in the video that we've been showing you all night, started advancing towards the police. that's when they fired the smoke cannisters that we've been showing you through the night. they then received word, the police received word that somebody in the crowd had been shot, not by police. there were multiple reports of someone with a gun. in fact, we spoke to witnesses who said they saw this man with a gun as well. the police in an attempt to get to this wounded individual that had been shot, they used tear gas they say only in an attempt to get to this person who was shot. it did have the effect of dispersing the remaining protesters who were still there as well, but at that point the person had been put into a civilian's car, rushed to the hospital where he was in critical condition. at the same time, the police

were clearing out the barbecue establishment and searching for this individual with a handgun. he is still out there. they're still looking for him. and during the course of all of this they effected seven arrests. in fact, we just saw moments ago the police vehicle taking away these people. seven in handcuffs for defying the curfew in ferguson tonight. the curfew in effect for about another hour and a half here when the sun starts coming up, that's when people will be allowed to be back out in the street here. so that's the situation here in ferguson right now. the rain coming down again, by the way, and that has kept the crowds down throughout the night. >> we appreciate your reporting. we know you've been standing in the rain several hours, it's on and off there. i just reiterate just one point that -- and you said this earlier, that most of the people that you've been getting to know, the people that live there, were not out tonight. for the most part this was an

isolated incident. for the most part the people did as they were asked, they stayed home. >> reporter: that's right. when we talk to people who live in the community in ferguson today, after what happened the previous night, the confrontation with police in riot gear, the standoff that went on for many, many hours, almost until the sun came up, there were lots of demonstrators out there who were not going to go away, and while that confrontation the previous night was taking place, the looting happened. and we brought you those images of several stores, including the convenience and licker store being broken into. the local residents, the people who live off of that avenue had told us today that they felt enough was enough, that this wasn't what they wanted, that the reason they were holding these demonstrations was that they wanted answers and they wanted to know why a young man from their community was shot and killed by police and that the rest of this was secondary.

and they felt that it had to stop, that their community was no longer being respected, at least the people we spoke to felt that way today. and so during the day and during the evening a couple of hours ago we didn't see a lot of those community folks out. most of the people we saw on the streets were teenagers and people in their young 20s and the demonstration was much smaller than it had been in previous -- on previous evenings and during the day. so i think -- i think there's a sense of want be being to get back to some sort of new normal where the businesses are open, where people can go back to doing the things they need to do every day in their community, and we'll see if this is a turning point as the hours and days wear on. >> steve, i think that's a very important point that you point out there that this, again, is about investigation into the

shooting of an unarmed african-american teenager. questions about what led up to that shooting we still don't know yet. >> reporter: i'm not sure if you're talking to me because i can't hear you. >> it's all good, man. i saw you take the earpiece out. the point that he made is a matter of waiting to get that information. a lot of people want it. there are a lot of people who are outraged that it has not yet come out. we know that there will be more protests. a lot of people are determined to have peaceful protests. this have been some situations where a small but determined group seemed to undermine that but, you know, hopefully in the days to come things will remain pieceful. >> certainly hope so, and that people start to get answers. we do know that the police will hold another news conference at daylight. they said they would tell us what time they were going to hold that to bring us more about what happened this night and we'll let you know and we'll cover that for you, what

happened. >> absolutely. so pope francis in south korea celebrating mass to mark the end of the asia youth day. it's the sixth gathering of young catholics from across the region. >> asia is seen as an area of growth by the catholic church, but pope francis is the first head of the church to visit the region in many years and the first pope to visit south korea in 25 years. our correspondent paula hancock is following all of the pope's movements from the south korean capital of soule. he's been moving around and doing what pope francis does best, just being himself. hello, paula. >> reporter: hello, natalie. well, it's been quite an interesting day, this sunday. i have to say. we heard basically from pope francis the most explicit reachout that we've seen since he's been here in china, even north korea. speaking to the asian bishop this morning, he didn't mention

either country by name. the assumption was he was speaking about china, but he said in one of his speeches he said in the spirit of openness he earnestly hoped that both countries which the holy seat does not enjoy a full relationship with may not hesitate to further dialogue. effectively he is saying both countries, for example china, that he does not have a relationship with, that have no relationships with the pontiff whatsoever, he is basically saying that he would like to have a relationship. it's been 60 years that the vatican and china have been at odds. there has been a very troubling relationship between the two, the catholic church and china effectively is state run and controlled by the state. it's not loyal to the vatican. so this is really an interesting development that the pope did want to reach out even though he didn't name the country by name, the assumption is that he was reaching out to those countries in the continent with which the vatican doesn't have relations at this point. now another interesting thing to note.

earlier on this sunday there was something off schedule that was not expected. pope francis actually decided to give baptism to the father of one of the ferry victims. this father had lost a child in that april ferry incident that killed more than 300 people and asked pope francis to baptize him. pope francis did that this sunday morning. at the moment what we are watching, this is a homily given to the closing mass for the a b asian youth day. one of the reasons the pope came here, to speak to the youth of asia. >> and how much longer is he there? >> reporter: well, he leaves on monday lunchtime. it's now almost half past 5:00 in the evening on sunday. not much longer for pope francis. he'll be wrapping up with the asian youth. this is a very important factor for the future of catholicism. one of the reasons pope francis decided to come to south korea.

it's a small church, relatively over 10% of the group is catholic. it's a relatively young church. in asia it's a young church than for example in the united states or europe. this is a potential growth area for the future of the church. that was one of the reason why is pope francis decided to come here. >> he certainly has been busy there in soule, south korea. paula hancocks, thank you very much. the news continues on cnn. we'll have much more on the unrest in ferguson, missouri. >> yes. a man is in critical condition after a shooting after the curfew began. we'll bring you the latest after this.

back now with our special coverage. we want to bring you the latest on what happened after the curfew in ferguson, missouri, a few hours ago. >> a few pictures of the unrest. the curfew went into effect midnight central time. we know that police used smoke but we've also confirmed that police used tear gas as well to disperse the crowds. we understand that at least seven people were arrested. >> yes. again, police reporting about an hour ago that this was in response to that shooting and not just the curfew itself. most people there in ferguson did what was asked of them, they stayed home. only a few dozen came out right

after the curfew began, but right now streets are quiet and there's a big rally planned today, a march, so we'll be covering that for you. >> absolutely. turning back now to the deteriorating situation in iraq. a yazidi leader there says friday's isis attack on northern iraqi villages was worse than first reported. >> the attack happened in the village of kojo. that's not far from sinjar. the leader tells brittain's channel 4 news that isis militants killed hundreds of men and abducted at least 1,000 women and children but cnn is unable to confirm those numbers. it does appear the scale of the isis massacres continues to grow. two months ago hundreds of cadets at a military academy in tikrit were executed. >> in the baghdad city, anything

p nick peyton walsh spoke to people. >> reporter: internally, dying. cadets from military academy overrun by isis militants in june herded to slaughter. isis filmed their murder, perhaps the most infamous shock video yet. used to speed their advance. here they chant, isis forever. anything. in the dusk the masked men take turns and the anonymous, endless killing of perhaps 1700 people. in baghdad's satyr city they have a loss. he watched his brother die. the last time they spoke on this same phone he said his base was surrounded. would he look after his

children. i felt that his life had just ended, he says, that he is dead, because of the way he was speaking saying things like, take care of my children. i said to myself, he knows he's going to die. it took three weeks before he could bring himself to watch the video. i was afraid to see it, he says, so i kept hesitating. my son would bring it up, i would pull it down, up, down, up. there's not one thing in that video that i do not remember. all of it is dark, murder, violence. all in my head. they knew it was iad because of his green track suit. each murder casual here. each loss, seismic. he can't understand why they let themselves be herded to their

death. i was not afraid, just my brother, he says, for all of them. they were not supposed to turn themselves in, they were supposed to fight. why he turned himself in and have fear in your hearts, torture your family and loved ones. video hangs over this home. his wife doesn't know about it. the children will never see it, the man pledged. his body is perhaps still at i military airport after being found by tikret locals. that indignity compounding fury. death is a solution to isis, he says. the world needs to get rid of them. these people have no place on earth but under it. everyone should get rid of them, the suny, the shia, the christians, everyone. one of perhaps 1700 calls for blood vengeance, 1700 childhoods shattered. nick peyton walsh, cnn, baghdad. still ahead on cnn, police fired smoke cannisters and tear

gas at crowds that disobeyed the curfew that led into order in ferguson, missouri. we will update you on the latest confirmed information next.

welcome back. if you're just joining us, there was another night of unrest in ferguson, missouri, but it was an isolated incident. >> that's right. police say one man is in critical condition after a shooting during sunday's curfew. he was shot near a restaurant but not by police, we're told. authorities used tear gas and

smoke to clear the crowd scene. >> they had earlier used smoke to disperse a group of protesters who defied the protesters. seven people have been arrested. the five-hour curfew was in response to a week of sporadic looting after police shot and killed an unarmed african-american teenager, michael brown. landslides triggered by heavy rainfall killed dozens of people in india. >> ivan has the latest on that. >> horrific accounts of an entire family being buried alive in northern intd yeah, that on the heels of what we've already had which is of course a couple dozen victims. a terrible scene here in northern india because, look at this, quarter meter since friday. that's 10 inches of rainfall and 6, 6, 6 since august 21st. the workers and the first responders have had to deal with

torrential downpours that, well, continue at this hour and the river levels continue to rise there as well. we understand all bodies have been recovered and so there is that, but, my goodness, those mountain tops are still very vulnerable as a result of landslides as a result of that rain that will continue over the next few days as the southwestern monsoon here, the indian monsoon continues with more rainfall and heavy at that. the other area we've been watching with heavy rainfall has been japan. talked about this yesterday. it continues here. a very wet weekend and the flooding continues as a result of saturated ground from a couple of typhoons that have been hitting at japan. at this point you're now getting a bit of a break but not down from the south and west. china getting involved. some of the promises here. very heavy rain in the next 48 hours. accumulations anywhere from 25 millimeters, that's an inch, to as much as 100 millimeters of rainfall here. so it's going to be coming down

in buckets as this boundary hangs out across the region over the next couple of days. we'll keep you posted on that. and of any new developments coming out of northern india. >> thank you, ivan. >> ivan, thank you. fans of downton abby call this bottle gate. >> a plastic bottle is in it. as you probably know, plastic bottles had not been invented in that. >> the cast reacted aghast. you can see them posing at the water bottles to raise awareness for water eight. the chaired at this works around the world for getting clean waters. >> that was very smart that they turned that into something positive. >> you can always turn it around, right? >> yeah, i guess. it looks like the weight of love is too much for the bridges of paris. >> now french authorities are

clamping down on a tourist tradition. >> yeah. you may have seen the other bridges covered in padlocks. couples from all over the world have been fastening locks to bridges, thousands of them for many years, as symbols of their love. >> some parisians say they're an eye sore. authorities are posting notices to take selfies instead of leaving locks. >> translator: it could cause a problem. beyond the fact that it destroys paris heritage and destroys the bridge, it's also dangerous to the visitors of paris. >> paris officials are hoping to build support on social media asking couples to share their selfies online with #lovewithoutlocks. >> i think that's a good idea. kind of an eye sore. anyway, leave paris alone. i'm natalie allen.
